## The words

Stangers yet, after years of life together,  
After fair and stormy weather,  
After travel in far lands, After touch of  
wedded hands Why thus joined, why ever met?  
If they must be strangers yet,  
strangers yet,  
strangers yet!  
After childhood’s winning ways,  
After care and blame and praise,  
Counsel ask’d and wisdom giv’n After mutual  
pray’rs to Heav’n, Child and parent scarce  
regret, When they part are strangers yet.  
strangers yet.  
stran gers yet.  
Will it ever more be thus, Spirits still  
impervi ous? Shall we never fairly stand  
Soul to soul, as hand to hand? Are the bounds  
eternal set To retain us strangers yet,  
stran gers yet,  
stran gers yet!
